About Course

The B.Sc in Food, Nutrition and Dietetics is a progressive, fast-paced, three-year professional undergraduate degree program with an emphasis on the artistic and scientific aspects of nutrition with practical components as part of the curriculum. It sounds like weaving a meal where every dish is designed to feed not just the body but also to mend—the intersection between food science and health. From the density of menu planning and various chemistries in our foods to the things of dieting and the fundamentals of nutrition, this program brings that into perspective. Now imagine being in a modern kitchen with real-life cooking where you are adjusting the taste and the nutrients of the food, or imagine being in a clinic where you are using your knowledge for the better life of your patients through nutrition.

Having been trained at the degree level of B.Sc in the FND program, you will be entering into a world of options. Whether you view yourself as a clinical dietitian working with each patient on modifications toward health or as a food service director managing the nutritional needs of large populations, the opportunities are endless. As the world shifts its attention to wellness and health prevention, your skills will be very important. Unlike programs that only train you for a given position, this program prepares you to be a change agent in the health and nutrition sector.
